>>746702208No. Nexon is not buying Starcraft off of Blizzard. Nexon and Blizzard partnered to use the Starcraft IP for something back in 2022 or some shit which the Kim Lee Park retard misunderstood and subsequently corrected the article.
>>746702208>must scrub all starcraft references from WoW and their DotA cloneKWAB
>>746702208Your country is being destroyed and sold off to the enemy.Wealth that is supposed to go to you and your countrymen, are now being drained to the enemies.There's nothing to celebrate about the enemy "raping"/looting your country.
>reportedly
>>746702313>>746702705it's real in my head.starcraft bros, we're so back
>>746702484>your countryThe politicians aren't mine, the wealth isn't mine, the people aren't mine. How is it my country?
>>746702208Good, fuck jizzturd.
>>746702745>nexon owning anything>we're so backHow retarded are you? Jesus. Nexon is EA, Activision or Ubishit level bad, only Worst Korean so even more jewish.
>>746702208I want to go back to 2012 and play starcraft 2 desu
>>746702838I like to think the world ended in 2012 and I am in purgatory, hallucinating.
Not clicking that. They mean the license to make a spinoff game, right?
>nexon and starcraft play nice>DFO get a lot of starcraft inspired cosmeticsI'd dig it
>>746703747no
Is this the new maple rape thread?
>>746702208>Microsoft/Blizzard not going for the money in a heartbeat
Its over.
like blizzard going to sell it if the prize isn't 7 billion dollars
>>746702789Khazan was good though, yeah it was the only game they've made with anything good about it since the original vindictus but whatever.
>>746703780>nexon>playing nicePfffft
Koreans are the only people who care about Starcraft so much, so being bought by a Korean publisher would actually be beneficial for that game. Blizzard doesn't have any devs left who know how to make an RTS game anyway. Starcraft 2 proved that...remember Starcraft 2? Koreans forgotaboutid too
>>7467041497 billion for an infinite korea moneyprinter would be a steal. also blizzard has nothing to say anymore, microsoft decides and they prob. dont give a fuck about an IP with an game released almost 15 years ago
>>746704286Koreans care.Nexon doesn't.
>>746704271It COULD happen. They know Starcraft is very popular in their major markets, KR and CN. So imagine your gunners with ghost kits or a blademaster with a zealot kit. Can't work with every class but the ones it could work on would sell well I would think.
>>746704149It wont be 7 billion, maybe a couple million at best.
>>746704357they're not gonna start dismantling their multi billion dollar esports infrastructure(and culture to a degree, some parents send their kids off to starcraft training schools as early as 12 years old) just because they added p2w to it or something
>>746704370Nexon does not have fuck you we can afford Starcraft money despite all the gacha whales
>>746704286Koreans never cared about Starcraft 2 that much. The only reason it ever had a big pro scene at all is because Blizzard pumped money into it. They had to drag KeSPA screaming and kicking into SC2. The Korean Brood War pro scene on the other hand grew organically. Even right now ASL is a lot more popular there than GSL.
>>746704570Nexon is one of the most successful game companies in da worl, they have the money they just don't negotiate up.
>>746702208To be honest, Starcraft would be better off being owned by Koreans.
Starcraft has been dying in Korea as well, its only a boomer millenial thing now.
>>746704217There were things to enjoy about Khazan but I wouldn't call it good
>>746704875Yeah the pro scene was already on its way down even before that forced SC2 switchover.
>>746705413>>746704875>>746704585Starcraft league as a whole practically killed itself when a couple of riggers got exposed and completely killed the public's reception, leading to sponsers pulling out.
>>746706047qrd?
>>746702484>There's nothing to celebrate about the enemy "raping"/looting your country.Natural selection is worth celebrating.The weak are purged. The strong triumph.
>>746702208The cycle is complete.Honestly? Better them than blizzard. Litterally anything is better than blizzard.
>>746706047The match fixing scandal played a big part certainly but I don't know if Korean pro Brood War could have gone on forever even without it. Perhaps a few more years?SC2 nobody in Korea ever really cared about in the first place.>>746706528https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Match_Fixing_ScandalSC2 got its own incident later too:https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/2015_Match-Fixing_Scandal
>>746706902Debatable. I personally would take the superjew Nexon over Blizzard because Nexon at least understands what a woman is supposed to look like (e.g. First Descendant) but if you’re poor or too stupid to keep yourself from buying RMT for jpegs then Nexon is much worse. Neither company is going to actually invest in the game.
>>746704217They quickly corrected their mistake>>746705374True, I would call it great
>>746702745You don’t understand what Nexon making it means, do you?
>>746702208Doesn't Nexon make MMO's? Is Blizzard really so buck broken that they need someone else to make an MMO for them? Thats sad man. I know they've been shit for a long time now but its still crazy to me how far they have fallen. Also as bad as Blizzard is, Nexon is going to make it even more jewish than WoW already is. Sad times.
>>746702208>>746702313
>>746702208Alessio Palumbo Yes good very nice sir on the video gaming news sites yes sir. Please lets all click and give many pennies.
>>746709204the koreans want more an rts i think
>>746702208>korea says all your base are belong to us>gimme that, you weren't doing anything with it anywayKek. Next stop, China buying Warcraft IP and making Warcraft 4.
>>746707158Not a single protoss player was involved in the match fixing scandal, what a coincidence baby race they said.
>>746702208They're not going to sell the SC IP. If they didn, they'd have to remove all the SC cosmetics and whatnot from there other games. Also HotS exists. SC is being licensed out, not sold outright.
>>746711294Well Koreans have proven time and time again they are unable to develop a decent RTS game. And belive me, they tried many times.Chinese, on the other hand, are at least an unexplored variable. It's a lottery with them but there is always a chance and they have no shortage of RTS fanatics between their love for RA2 and WC3. Guys also successfully have western AoE2DE pros eat shit in tournaments so they technically have the whole RTS trifecta covered.
>>746711565not necressary if the agreement specifies that legacy IP products stay as they are (3D Realms did this when selling duke nukem IP as example)
>>746702208this already happened
>>746711693I give it 5 years before they make a competent RTS, they've only just begun making large budget singleplayer games. The advantage is that there's 1.4 billion of them so there's bound to be an audience for a Chinese RTS.
>>746702208>fags who made some indie shit and extraction shooters will own a strategy gamei am sure they won't fuck it up
>>746702208Honestly, StarCraft is a Korean national deport
>>746711693>korean local rts jank gameshmmm i need to checkout that gerne
>>746707158>something competitive happens>gambling and mafioso corruption ruins everything, as per usualdoesn't help that it's worst korea and there's several crime lords and cults running the country
>>746704348Infinite Korean money printer that could very well turn into a Disney buying Star Wars situation.Pretty sure they've yet to make a return on that purchase.
>>746702208>Koreans will finally have their beloved Starcraft for themselves
>>746712006>The advantage is that there's 1.4 billion of them so there's bound to be an audience for a Chinese RTS.There's never been a single question about whether there is a market for Chinese RTS. The only question has always been whether it's going to be made in the West or China.West lost all of its RTS development skills and studios so they currently can't tap those 10s of millions of easily sold nostalgia copies.China hasn't had any big players take the leap with some local studio yet. But even now, the grand majority of all RTS mods out there are made by Chinese. Almost all Generals mods, RA3 mods, TS mods, Total War mods are all built by Chinese fans.The fanbase is there, but modders make for poor AAA devs. And they're not retarded enough to think amateur garbage will sell, unlike in the west (see AoE4, DoW4, Tempest Rising,...).
>>746712256goys like picrelated made a return of investment for them over the years probably?
>>746712365>Koreans will finally have their beloved Starcraft for themselveswith disgusting predatory monetization...which they love for some fuckin reason
>>746702705>we heard a rumor from a source that we couldn't verify but another journalist was able to and he wrote an article about it so we are running the story as well even tho our ethics department says it's risky the clicks are too good so fuck emyes, reportedly.
>>746703338same
>the Koreans revive StarCraft GhostThat would be fucking funny to see.
>>746704585>watch ASL>nothing but 5 minute cheese rushes, the one doing the rush wins 95% of the time>need to skip through 55 minutes of nothing to get to the next match because the previous one ended so quicklywooow so exciting
>>746713250Would probably the best thing to come out of this acquisition.
>third person starcraft ghost>it's some kind of online mtx extraction slopanother monkeys paw
>>746714231As opposed to ameritranny online mtx extraction slop like maratroon? I'll take korean vidya over amerigolem slop.
I doubt they'd be able to make a story as shit as SC2
>>746702208That would be an extremely retarded decision from Microsoft but i wouldn't put it past them, regarding games they only seem to be able to make retarded decisions
>>746702208>Nexon making a Starcraft gameIt's like puking on a pile of shit.
>>746702208Blizzard is the biggest trash company ever at this point, if you like their old IP's you should be happy they lost it because it's infested by woketards.Maybe Nexon can let someone not woke make a decent game.
